Despite being well-made, this is, essentially, a bit of a rip off. All it needed was six mini Dr Who figures and it would probably have a 5* rating from everyone! What's more, I can't locate any suitable figures to add to the set, they're all too big. Come on someone, release a set to augment the game.. 3D printing perhaps..?

I don't have this yet and when I heard it was coming out I was exctatic, because I've been into Doctor Who as a child, and as you can imagine have a fair bit stuff, but more favour Tha Old Classic Who, but when I heard about some of the standard features including the playing pieces still being a car etc. apart from one of them being the Tardis, I started thinking why are they getting slack with all the toys and things anybody ????

Recieved this game end of July, had been quite excited about the arrival of the game as i am a big monopoly and doctor who fan. However i have to say i was quite disappointed when it actually arrived.

We are advised that Doctor Who Monopoly is limited to 5000 sets - it does not state this on the box anywhere either internally or externally, so as such you do not know which number of the 5000 you have receieved. The board and chance/community chest cards are well themed to current and previous new Doctor Who series, but for me the most disappointing bit was the lack of imagination for the theming of the playing pieces. Many "themed" monopoly sets have the playing pieces related to the "theme" but Doctor Who Monopoly doesnt! You get the usual pieces - Dog, Boot, Car etc. With so much scope for possible pieces - Daleks, Cybermen, Sonic Screwdriver, Weeping Angel - You name it they could have used it - I feel this is the most dsappointing bit about this version.

It seems to me that the makers were keen to get the game released and rushed it so much that no thought was put into the pieces.

Overall Grade 3/5

The game itself is great. Typical Monopoly set with themed chance and chest cards and relevant properties. Impressed that it includes references to the first part of Series 6 including The Silence.

Only disappointment is that unlike other themed Monopoly sets where all tokens tie in with the theme, you only get a TARDIS token and it's twice the size of the others. Such a shame as the scope for tokens could've been huge-at least a Dalek, Angel, Doctor and Amy for starters.

Wish I could shift the feeling that there may well be another (and better?) edition this time next year.

Though the board is very up to date with names featured in the latest series and chance/community chest questions ‘who’ related, the tokens that come with it are sadly not Dr.Who themed, just the usual ship, car etc. Also the houses and hotels shapes are exactly that not themed either. You do get one Tardis shape token though!

I love the chance and community chest cards. They have things like you used your hallucinogenic lipstick, get out of jail free. Brilliant! The properties are also really good. However I'm disappointed that the houses/hotels are just the same as ordinary Monopoly but blue and yellow instead of red and green. Also the tokens/counters (whatever you call them) are the same as the ordinary game (iron, hat, dog etc). I was expecting them to be DW related. There is a TARDIS playing piece which is larger and coloured. Three guesses who is going to get that one when it's played.
